Ok I did a search and got mixed reviews... decided while the engine was out for the hell hole repair which is finished I would take car of the oil leaks.. a Little back ground is that I CAN NOT trust what the PO.did. He said the engine was just rebuilt it is a 2.0 with 1.7 heads. there was a firly large leak at the push rod tubes where the seals were cut by a rough opening in the push tube holes in the head .. I got that all cleaned up with a brake hone and it is silky smooth, but it looks like thert is a slight leak at the jugs to the case and maybe at the head , but its hard to tell since ther was oil everywhere. should there be head and base gaskets or not? if there arent any now and it is leaking is it from improper torque? I'm going to pull the heads to take a look any ways but I"m wondering Should I use base and head gaskets or not? if nothing is ther a "dressing " I should use ... This is my first time tearing into a type 4 , but not my first engine Thansk for the imnput

the push rod is visually bent at least a 1/8" in the middle so it rolls real funny. The number stamped on top of case is GC 004937. I was Told it was a 2.0 by PO a member on here he had just done the engine .. this is directly from his listing
Good: Freshly rebuilt 2.0 with mild Raby cam, freshly rebuilt 1.7 heads instead of 2.0 Dual Weber 40 carbs HD Oil Pump 5 Powder coated and powder cleared Fuchs Electric rear trunk release Interior is in fairly good shape Turbo tie rod conversion Bump steer kit New ball joints All new front bushings Almost new tires New battery tray |
